8 Iconic Movie Makeovers We Could Watch Over and Over

If I've learned anything from watching way too many teen movies over the years, it's that a well-placed makeover montage has the ability to improve literally every aspect of your life. Want to fit in with the popular kids at school? Get a makeover. Need an extra boost of courage to finally go talk to that hottie you've been pining after? Get a makeover. Want to pose as a babysitter so your recently divorced wife will unknowingly pay you to spend time with your kids? Maybe consider some therapy … and then go get a makeover. I'll admit that the metamorphic powers of contacts and mascara are more than a little far-fetched. Still, 9 times out of 10, the frumpy character undergoing the remodel realizes his or her full, been-there-all-along potential and inner beauty by the time the credits roll. And if it takes a fabulous makeover montage to make that happen, who are we to judge? From cartoon princesses to crossdressing dads, take a look at some of cinema's most memorable transformations. -By Caitlin Morton
